ALL TIES ARE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER (ARTIST) UNTIL THE FINAL SCOREBOARD!

The two most inevitable entries being unmasked first!

Grace's song did sound a bit better to me on this listen than when I heard it before but I'm still just not catching the Sarah hype unfortunately - hopefully something from her will click with me soon as she seems to be appealing to people who usually have similar taste to me x Am sure both of these songs will do very well here anyway - haha at their respective senders giving 12 to each other.

is this why blacksquare doesn't think I am a tastemaker

Ansel coming through with a Spanish bop as ever x

I very nearly confirmed a different Aitana song! I was gonna go for 'CONEXIÓN PSÍQUICA'.

I was debating between 3. Sarah, Aitana and Absolutely - I Just Don't Know You Yet. But the latter felt way too soon to send another Absolutely song to a contest

May - Come Over

Predictable choice from me but it was my song of the year for 2025 so at least I got to send it somewhere! I'm going to see her next month in London so excited to see that. Nice 12 swap Jonjo!

Fleeting I still really love personally (but don't like her new single all that much so far). I'm always a sucker for that kind of production.

I think I'll be surprised if Addison, Zara or CMAT don't take it though, one of the bigger names.

May - Come Over

I definitely should have called Bratz being Jade, who else would it have been x

Addison was my favourite pop star of 2025 but I felt like I'd already exhausted her in Pop Factor, so thought I'd go for a bit of a swerve instead, with a 'Sports car'-esque bop from my childhood heroes x Thank you to Addy, Jonjo, Lewis and Nine for the points so far - especially the latter for a medal *.*

The site's biggest Addison fan giving Addison 12 points? COLOUR ME SHOCKED!!!!

Poor May still on 0 points! If I did the 18 pointing system, she wouldn't be </3

All of you: "Going to be interesting to see who wins out of Grace & Sarah"

Also all of you: *gives no points* and decide to support your already known artists instead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear, the come down is real!
